THREE men are behind bars today after they were accused of a foiled kidnapping last week that resulted in a man being injured.

Alando Williams, 26, Omar Fowler, 19, and a 17-year-old male defendant appeared before Magistrate Samuel McKinney on charges of kidnapping, causing harm and threats of death.

It is alleged that on April 14 in New Providence, while being concerned with others, the defendants kidnapped and injured Charles Bethel, and threatened him with death.

Fowler pleaded guilty to the causing harm charge, but all three defendants pleaded not guilty to the remaining charges.

The trio’s bail hearing was deferred until April 21, with all three defendants remanded to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services.

The accused are expected to return to court for trial on June 16.
